Opinion of Peter Children of Mason City –
I enjoy Monday’s for any number of reasons. It’s the day the country opens its door to business after shutting down for Saturday & Sunday. People are back in their offices ready to do business
Monday is also the day John Skipper puts his thoughts on paper in his weekly column. Today he attempted to explain things as they are regarding the downtown development and how he sees it coming together. He leaves a lot out of this equation trusting you, the reader to accept at face value the facts as he laid them out. I used to sell aluminum siding….I know exactly how that works.
Bookmeyer is only concerned with the brick & mortar part of this outrageous perk meant to wrap the derrière of his friend’s children in luxury here-to-fore only found in the locker rooms of ball players who are paid more than drug dealers….just to throw the ball to another over paid receiver who’s only job description is to catch it. How nice.
My thoughts tend to believe that in his adolescent days (Bookmeyer) couldn’t make the cut on the school hockey team; this then brought on clouds of Great Depression and that eventually led him to strong drink in hopes of forgetting the humiliation bestowed on him by his then hockey coach. Now he wants to build his very own hockey rink…..and if he doesn’t get his way the council will have to drink the Kool-Aid. And that is why Turncoat left town. He didn’t want to drink the Kool-Aid.
